Fun, Innovative Dentistry Programs
Fostering positive relationships with oral health is closely related to your overall health. In our children’s dentistry approach, we help establish proper dental habits and techniques. These tools last a lifetime. They set the foundation for a healthy relationship with oral health. We use age-appropriate terminology to increase the comprehension of healthy habits. The colourful Sugar Bugz set the stage for an engaging and educational experience. An SBBG Tooth Hero is a champion of their dental health. Becoming a Tooth Hero is an exciting journey. We’re empowering children to take control of their dental health.
We believe in making dental visits fun. Creating a groundwork for lifetime oral wellness is why we do what we do. Sugar Bugz Be Gone is a unique program with education as the priority. Participation in the SBBG is for any child in Barrie and surrounding areas. There are zero obligations to take part in becoming a Tooth Hero. SBBG is available to any child. Our commitment is to allow every child to become a champion of their smile.

We strive to make your child’s experience fun and exciting!
At Smiles on Essa Dental, we want to make children’s experiences fun, friendly, and educational, which sets the standard for a lifetime of positive oral health!
The Sugar Bugz Be Gone Program focuses on the Tooth Hero (your child). It aims to free the Sugar Bugz (plaque, food bits, etc.) to the Secret Under-Sink-World. This program helps children understand their oral health. It motivates them to take part in keeping a healthy smile. Having a healthy mouth reduces dental emergencies and dental phobias in children.
The Tooth Hero Journey
Introduction
Spend 15 – 30 minutes with a Registered Dental Hygienist for a Dental office introduction! Take a ride on the chair and experience the sights and sounds of a dental office. Prepare for your first visit to ensure a positive experience and build dental confidence.
Brushing Challenge
We challenge your child to a 10-day brushing and flossing activity! Brushing and flossing aren’t the only part of a healthy oral routine… Knowing what nutritious snacks to eat will keep your child’s smile happy and healthy. Soon, your little one will ask: “Is it time to brush my teeth yet?“
Tooth Hero For Life
We learned, understood, and applied the techniques and tools of the Tooth Hero way. Now we’re official Tooth Heroes and champions of our oral health! This journey has provided the foundation for a lifetime of positive oral health. Once a Tooth Hero, always a Tooth Hero!
